This site has a timeline of the events of the major events in many popular movies. For instance, I didn’t realize that 1936 was such a busy year:
- 1935 John Coffey is executed on Death Row for a crime he didn’t commit (The Green Mile)
- Rick runs guns to Ethiopia (Casablanca)
- Indiana Jones escapes Chinese gangsters in Shanghai before falling into the Thuggee cult’s plot in India (Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom)
- There is a murder, on the Orient Express (Murder On The Orient Express)
- Ed Murrow begins at CBS (Good Night, and Good Luck)
- Tom Baxter steps down from the movie screen and into the life of Cecilia (The Purple Rose of Cairo)
- September 6: Top Hat opens in cinemas (The Purple Rose of Cairo)
They should be teaching this stuff in schools.
